A private, TLS-secured NATS message broker for service-to-service messaging in your own AWS account. Includes per-user subject permissions, the nats CLI and a built-in walkthrough. Certificates and passwords are generated on each instance at first boot.
Overview
Run a private message bus for your services inside your own VPC. This image starts NATS Server v2.15.0 as a Core NATS broker over TLS, with three example users and subject permissions already set, plus the official nats CLI for quick tests. JetStream is off.
Launch the approved version on t3.medium with at least 16 GiB encrypted root storage and at least 2 GiB RAM. Connect with AWS Systems Manager as ubuntu or restrict SSH to your administrative CIDR. First boot creates TLS material, local NATS users and subject permissions; nothing sensitive is baked into the image. NATS listens on tls://127.0.0.1:4222 with HTTP monitoring on 127.0.0.1:8222. Use Session Manager port forwarding or a private proxy for client access. Keep credentials out of recordings and tickets.
The standard software fee is described in the AWS Marketplace offer terms. EC2, EBS and data-transfer charges are billed separately. See the offer terms for applicable billing promotions.
After launch, wait for cloud-init to finish, then follow the bundled README for configuration, backup and day-2 operations. IAM is optional unless you add AWS-targeted automation. JetStream, clustering and leafnodes are out of scope for this Core offer.
Reach it from other machines: To serve other hosts, change the listen address to the instance's private IP, issue a server certificate that includes that address (the Configuration guide has the commands) and allow TCP 4222 only from your clients' security group. Keep TLS on.

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for independent AWS packaging, validation, maintenance and setup documentation. Synadia and the NATS Authors publish nats-server and natscli under Apache-2.0; Software Sushi supplies the AMI recipe, pinned official linux/amd64 binaries, first-boot TLS and local users, loopback defaults, and setup documentation without claiming upstream endorsement.
Highlights
- Pinned NATS Server v2.15.0 and nats CLI v0.5.0 official linux/amd64 binaries with provenance receipts.
- Loopback TLS Core NATS defaults with automatic per-instance TLS, users and subject permissions.
- Bundled configuration, backup and day-2 operations documentation.

Dimensions summary
This listing uses one pricing dimension. You pay an hourly software fee for the t3.medium instance while it runs. The fee is usage-based, so charges accrue only for the hours the instance is active. There are no tiers or separate add-ons to choose from. AWS bills EC2, EBS storage, and data transfer separately from this software fee. Running the recommended t3.medium with an encrypted gp3 root volume keeps your costs tied directly to runtime.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You run the NATS Core broker on a t3.medium EC2 instance. The image includes the NATS Server 2.15.0, the nats CLI, a systemd service, and loopback TLS with example users. You add your own encrypted gp3 root volume of at least 16 GiB.
The hourly software fee accrues only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software fee. AWS may still bill EBS storage and other resources for a stopped instance, since those charges are separate from this software fee.
AWS bills EC2 compute, EBS storage, and data transfer separately from the software fee. The recommended setup uses an encrypted gp3 root volume of at least 16 GiB. You connect through AWS Systems Manager Session Manager, so no inbound security group rules are needed.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
